Chapter 430: Where is it so easy
"Martial God" swept the world at the box office, and the popularity of Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan and others rose again.
Among them, it is not the heroes and heroines of Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan who have risen the most, nor the villain of Gu Feng, but Zhang ??。, the director of the Special Administration Bureau
This made Mu Chen a little surprised.
Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan have not risen much, Mu Chen is not surprised, both of them are now stuck in a bottleneck.
Can Zhang?? ......
But it seems reasonable to think about it.
It's a pity that it would be nice if Dawn Film and Television had a suitable actor. Perhaps, with this role, it can also make it go international.
Sheet?? also used a lot of popularity internationally with this role.
In "Sword Fairy" and "Martial God", this character has a fight, and his combat power is extremely high.
On the global fan list, he is now at the top.
Of course, this ranking of what combat power is extremely controversial.
Among them, the one with the highest combat power and the most votes is Odin, the god king of Asgard, and the Heavenly Emperor, the lord of the Eastern Heavenly Realm.
As for Zhang?? , is praised by many fans as the strongest person on the planet.
Even the Bai Mei and Qinglian Sword Immortals of the Shushan Sword Sect are much weaker in popularity.
Strong, highly worshipped.
The popularity of this character is naturally high, so Zhang?? 's popularity has grown, and it's no surprise.
Of course, there are a lot of arguments, and no one can convince anyone.
And neither Dawn Film nor Dream Pictures gave a clear answer.
They won't be stupid enough to give an answer.
The more this kind of controversy, the better, how can Mu Chen give an answer?
"Martial God" is a global hit, but Mu Chen is still busy.
"I took a play. Li Ruoxi said to Mu Chen with a smile.
"Oh, look at the way you look, it seems like I like this script. Mu Chen said.
"Well, a small-budget art film. Li Ruoxi said.
"Small cost, you star, I'm afraid no matter how small it is, it won't be small there. Mu Chen shook his head and said.
Now Hollywood has offered Li Ruoxi a salary of nearly 20 million US dollars, which is comparable to the salary of Hollywood A-list stars.
20 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 100 million yuan.
Of course, there is not so much in the country, but there is not much missing.
The heroine's salary alone is more than 100 million, and the investment in this film is not a small cost.
It is not uncommon for Chinese-language films to start commercial blockbuster models, and it is not uncommon for them to invest more than $100 million.
However, more films are still only about 100 million Chinese dollars.
A small-budget art film is generally only a few million dollars of investment.
is bigger, it is estimated that it will be 50 million, even if it is an art film directed by top domestic directors such as Zhang Gang, the investment will not be too high.
Perhaps, don't dare to be too high.
"I invested in the film. Li Ruoxi said with a smile, "I will be paid to act." The investment in the whole film is about 10 million. ”
"That script is so attractive?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then became curious about the script.
Li Ruoxi smiled, and then handed the script to Mu Chen.
"This is written by an independent director. Li Ruoxi said.
Mu Chen nodded, and then opened the script and read it.
"How?"
After a while, Li Ruoxi asked Mu Chen.
"You're not afraid of being depressed after acting in this film!" Mu Chen shook his head and said.
The script is indeed good, but it is too depressing.
In addition to being miserable, the heroine is miserable.
He doesn't like these kinds of films, never will.
"Acting in this film is very helpful for your acting skills, though. Mu Chen continued, "Perhaps, there is a chance to compete for the Golden Dragon Award." ”
"You know you don't like these kinds of films. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.
Mu Chen's films, whether they are action movies or science fiction films, basically do not have too depressing plots, and many of them contain comedy costs. Among them, there are also quite a few comedies.
For example, "East Becomes West", which is now regarded as a classic, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" are all comedies.
"Pay attention to regulating your emotions. Mu Chen thought about it and said.
He actually doesn't want Li Ruoxi to make this kind of film.
However, he also knows that although Li Ruoxi is now the most well-known actress in Huaxia International, she is more like an actor.
"Got it!" Li Ruoxi said with a smile.
Since she took on this role and even invested in this film out of her own pocket, how could she not be clear.
"When will filming start?" Mu Chen then asked.
"There's nothing to prepare for this film, it's estimated that it will be half a month later. Li Ruoxi said.
Small-budget art films are naturally much easier to prepare than those commercial blockbusters.
Some even have actors in place, and they can start filming directly.
A blockbuster like "Guardians of the Galaxy" is obviously impossible.
I don't know how much time it will take to prepare the costumes and props.
"Half Moon, are you going to the premiere of Director Xu's film?" Mu Chen then asked.
"Isn't his film released on August 4?" Li Ruoxi said, "If this film doesn't start, go for it." ”
Xu Wen's film is undoubtedly delayed for some time.
originally thought that Mu Chen's "Martial God" would be released in early August, just like the previous two years, so I was ready to release it in early July.
As a result, the order of the two films was reversed.
This is related to the fact that only one film was released in the summer file of Dawn Film and Television this year.
Released on August 4, "Valkyrie" had been in theaters for three weeks at that time, and the potential must have been consumed a lot, so the impact on his film was naturally not much.
In fact, two weeks after the release of "Valkyrie", a blockbuster movie was released.
It's a pity that the word-of-mouth is unsatisfactory, except for the first day of release, "Martial God" squeezed out of the top position of the single-day box office list, and can only be succumbed to "Martial God".
On August 3, the film directed by Xu Wen held a grand premiere.
With an investment of nearly $200 million, this film is considered a big production in Hollywood.
The reason why the premiere was held was naturally to create momentum for the film.
That night, Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi participated, which attracted a lot of media attention.
"I don't know why, when I saw you, my heart suddenly became worried. After saying hello to Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi with a smile, Xu Wen shook his head and said.
"What's there to worry about, I won't ask you to pay back. Mu Chen said with a smile.
Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
The idea of repaying the money is naturally a joke.
"I'm afraid that my film will be planted under your "Martial God"!" Xu Wen shook his head and said, "If that's the case, my old face will be lost." It's not a shame to lose to "Martial God", but losing to "Martial God", which was released for three weeks, is inevitably a little ugly. You haven't seen Lao Bai a little depressed during this time. ”
The old white in Xu Wen's mouth is the director of the blockbuster movie released last week.
One day after the film was released, the box office plummeted.
Although it is now second in the single-day box office list, it has only been released for a day, and it has been crushed by "Martial God", which has been released for half a month, which is indeed a little ugly.
"Director Xu I know is not so unconfident!" Li Ruoxi said with a smile.
"He didn't want to take this film. Chen Mouzhi walked over and said, "It's a pity that I owe too many favors before." ”
"With an investment of nearly $200 million, you should be cautious, right?" Mu Chen said with some surprise.
Xu Wen doesn't want to take it, it's very likely that he is not optimistic about this film.
"Once you've seen the film, you'll understand. Chen Mouzhi said.
Although Mu Chen was puzzled, he did not continue to ask.
Soon, he understood.
Xu Wen's new film is a disaster film, and it imitates the shadow of "The Day After Tomorrow".
Of course, the imitation is not strong, let alone plagiarism.
This may also be one of the reasons why the producer approached Xu Wen.
If it is directed by other directors, it is estimated that they will be scolded, and their reputation will definitely be affected because of this.
However, Mu Chen felt that Xu Wen seemed to intend to get rid of the shadow of "The Day After Tomorrow", but he couldn't get rid of it completely.
No wonder Xu Wen doesn't want to take this film.
The film is actually not bad, whether it is the plot or the special effects.
Xu Wen has made the disaster film "The Day After Tomorrow", and it has been well received, so he naturally has no interest in this somewhat similar film.
"This film is actually good, and the box office should be good, why doesn't Director Xu want to take it?" asked Li Ruoxi with some doubts.
This film may not be as good as "The Day After Tomorrow", but it is definitely a disaster movie with a good reputation.
"Will you play a role similar to the one you've played in the past?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.
When Li Ruoxi heard this, she suddenly understood.
Naturally, she wouldn't.
In fact, neither famous actors nor famous directors repeat their own works.
Especially if it's still a work that I'm more famous for.
Of course, the sequel says otherwise.
Xu Wen's film was released, and the box office of "Martial God" was naturally impacted.
However, although the throne of the single-day box office champion is gone, it ranks second at the single-day box office.
It can be seen how much the box office staying power of this film is.
Within two days, Li Ruoxi went to filming, while Mu Chen continued to prepare for "Guardians of the Galaxy", and then attended the launch conference of "Fuxi".
This film is directed by Feng Yi and starring Huang Yao, which still attracted countless media reporters.
As for Mu Chen's appearance at the launch conference as a producer, it was undoubtedly a surprise for them.
"Director Mu, "Fuxi" tells the story before "Chasing the Deer", and it is not the so-called previous work. So, is Dawn Film and Television ready to create a mythical film world?"
Mu Chen's appearance undoubtedly attracted the attention of many media reporters.
Therefore, when the reporter asked a question, the first question was Mu Chen.
Of course, this question is obviously better than asking Feng Yi as a director.
Mu Chen is not only the producer of this film, but also the boss of Dawn Film and Television.
"If possible, it would be great. Mu Chen smiled and said, "However, where is the movie world so easy to build." Previously, Dawn Film and Television tried to create a world of national arts, but in the end it died of no illness. ”
Does Dawn Film and Television really intend to create a mythical movie world?
The eyes of the reporters in the audience suddenly lit up.
However, if you want to create a movie world, the difficulty is indeed not ordinary.
I don't know how many film and television companies in the world want to do this, but only Mu Chen succeeded.
There are Hollywood studios based on the world of comics, and they have failed to create a movie world, let alone others.
There are many Chinese myths, but they are mixed and chaotic..... If you want to form a movie world, the difficulty is probably much higher than the national art world that Dawn Film and Television has tried to create.
It is difficult to say whether the adaptation of those mythological stories can be recognized by domestic fans, let alone foreign ones.
If it is just a film world that is recognized in China, I am afraid that Dawn Film and Television will also give up.
"Chasing the Deer" has invested one billion Chinese dollars, and "Fuxi" is obviously not too bad, so the film is aimed at the international market.
If it is cold abroad, this mythical film world will definitely die.
